Amelia has always doubted her own ability and, at times, her vulnerability exposes her to very confusing and very challenging situations. She questions herself many times, doubting her judgement, unsure of who and what to believe.Twenty years ago Remmi was a teenager who got it in her mind she was going to sneak out one night but when her mother comes in Remmi hides in her mother’s old Cadillac in the garage.

Liar by K.L. Slater | Goodreads

Here's the deal: I'm not going to give you any clues. Micah does that, in Part One: Telling the Truth (except that she doesn't tell the truth, or not all of it). The clues build up, so that in Part Two: Telling the True Truth, her Big Secret isn't so unbelievable. It actually makes a lot of sense. The interesting thing is what role the reader takes in all this. I want to believe in her Big Secret. Not just because she succeeds in making it believable - somehow, lying about it to us after telling us she'll be truthful actually makes it more believable, not less - but because it makes the story a hell of a lot more interesting. There is no resolution. That was so unsatisfying. This is where I get to part three: the revelation of Micah's situation. She's been sent away from her parents and claims to be writing at some sort of "dorm" situation (at college), but this is where things get murky and a little depressing. This is where the truth of everything is really questioned. Because she is likely not with her parents, and she is not happy. Personally, I suspect her parents finally found her help and that she's living with others seeking help. You know, Girl, Interrupted style. But these loose ends exist on purpose. It adds to the lies and the question of which parts of Micah's lies are actually the truth. Im a huge fan of Lesley Pearse and once again written an amazing book, same as every one she writes, as I've been reading them from her very first book. All so brilliantly written and so hard to put down once started and this was no exception. Lesley always delivers a great story. Liar by Lesley Pearse is a satisfying read that will be sure to strike a chord with fans of the bestselling author and it may earn the British writer some new readers.a b "Weekly Viewing Summary (see relevant week)". BARB. The viewer figures take into account total live viewing in SD and HD, and +1 figures, and are viewed under ITV Total (Incl. +1). She blames every one else for her problems. She has serious issues. Um, let me get this straight, you decided to sit down and read a book about a pathological liar and that is the only psychological problem you could pinpoint? I can't wait until you get to the grown up books! Micah is not advertised as perfect, so I'm not sure why readers are complaining about her faults. If you want a book full of one-sided characters there's this "saga" I know of... When the police and reporters descend, Amelia is horrified at the assumptions made and lies soon to be spread about this poor young woman.
